Exhibition 'City Space - Nature Space'

The exhibition 'City Space - Nature Space' presents protected areas of Belgrade, selected specimens of dendroflora, natural monuments, and landscapes of exceptional characteristics interpreted in the form of video works, photographs, and texts, as well as an eco figure made of secondary raw materials on the topic of protected animal species that inhabit the space of our capital city.

The city and nature intertwine and permeate each other. Besides the ecological significance that is most commonly recognized, the natural values of special characteristics in the composition of the urban landscape are inseparable from the urban, historical, and cultural toponyms. Developing urban space is conquering the space of nature, while preserving natural resources is a necessary condition for survival. The modern inhabitant of urban spaces forgets about the primordial connection with the natural environment, a whole without which he loses his natural, humane face, neglecting one of the essential needs of human beings to be in continuous communication and touch with nature.

Through the exhibition 'City Space - Nature Space,' the Institute for Nature Conservation of Serbia presents to the public the living monuments of Belgrade, as witnesses of the past with which we are connected through history, memories, recollections, traditions, and myths. The setup aims to introduce the public to the protected areas - green oases of Belgrade, selected specimens of protected dendroflora, and animal species of Belgrade in the context of preservation, valorization, and interpretation of the natural heritage of the urban space.
